With China’s supersecret Ministry of State Security and the Japanese yakuza hunting him down, and with his daughter’s life on the line, Lang must confront his past and beat the Russians and the Chinese to claim a device possessing a revolutionary technology that can reshape the world. Keys to the Empire brings the trilogy to a thrilling close, blending intense combat, intricate puzzles, and personal sacrifice as the stakes reach their highest point.

Traveling from the glamorous French Riviera to the shadowy Tokyo underworld, Clay finds himself battling sinister forces that would stop at nothing to conceal the truth.

After surviving a deadly cartel attack, he was left with a fractured mind, haunted by the spirits of his dead colleagues. But when an old enemy resurfaces threatening to blow up the Los Angeles Auto Show, he is called back into action. His quest for revenge pulls him into a covert mission with a PMC, the CIA and the FBI. From the streets of Los Angeles to the shores of Mexico to the forests of China, he sets out on a mission to confront the true mastermind of the deadly scheme meant to destabilize the free world.
